Another thing about birds that I didn't imagine before living with Lucy is that they "turn over" at night, just as we do.

When she sleeps, she tucks her head back over her shoulder and buries her beak in her feathers. From time to time, she'll straighten up, fluff, and tuck it on the other side.

It makes perfect sense, of course. Cats do it, dogs do it and humans do it.

It just never occurred to me that birds might do it, too.

A question for Debra and Craig: Sometimes when Lucy wakes, she'll take a drink of water before she goes back to sleep. What happens in the wild?
